Changes in Tax Codes Versus Changes in the Value of the Dollar: The Arithmetic of Competitiveness | Beat the Press: "Corporate profits are equal to about 16 percent of the value of output in the corporate sector. Businesses pay roughly a third of their profits in taxes, which means that taxes are equal to about 5 percent of the value of output.
